The COSMYC Trial (COmbined Suppression of MYC) (NCT06922318)

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This research is being done to determine if receiving the combination of testosterone and ZEN-3694 followed by the combination of enzalutamide plus ZEN-3694 will decrease the size of tumors in patients with prostate cancer that has become resistant to castration and other therapies. The investigators also want to determine if dosing first with the combination of testosterone and ZEN-3694 may cause enzalutamide and ZEN-3694 to work more effectively.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (25 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (11 items).

Location: Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center โ€” Baltimore, Maryland

Patients with a history of HIV/AIDS may be eligible if cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4)+ T cell counts are โ‰ฅ 350 cell/ul, they have had no opportunistic infection within the past 12 months, they have been on established antiretroviral therapy (ART) for at least four weeks, the HIV viral load is less than 400 copies/ml prior to enrollment, and there is no significant drug-drug interaction with ART and the study drugs. Patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection with active disease who meet criteria for anti HBV therapy are eligible if they are on a suppressive antiviral therapy prior to enrollment and there is no drug-drug interaction with the study drugs. Patients with a history of HCV infection are eligible if they have completed curative antiviral treatment and the hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load is below the limit of quantification.
  • Any condition or mental impairment that may compromise the ability to give informed consent, patient's safety or compliance with study requirements as determined by the investigator.
  • Patients receiving anticoagulation therapy with warfarin, rivaroxaban, or apixaban are not eligible for study. \[Patients on enoxaparin or edoxaban are eligible for study. Patients on warfarin, rivaroxaban, or apixaban, who can be transitioned to one of these alternative agents prior to starting study treatments will be eligible\].
  • Patients are excluded with prior history of a thromboembolic event within the last 12 months that are not being treated with systemic anticoagulation.
  • Hematocrit \>51%, untreated severe obstructive sleep apnea, uncontrolled or poorly controlled heart failure \[per Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guidelines (34)\]
  • Patients allergic to sesame seed oil or cottonseed oil are excluded.
  • Major surgery (i.e. as defined by treating physician) within 3 weeks before screening, or has not fully recovered from prior surgery (i.e., unhealed wound).
